Now, coming to the feature, Windows 10 Technical Preview has got a lot of improvement over Windows 8 or 8.1, we have downloaded, installed and checked what’s new in the new operating system, here are 12 great features that you will really love.
1. The Start Menu is back
Microsoft has finally realized that taking away the start menu in Windows 8 and 8.1 was a mistake. The Start menu in Windows 10 is redesigned and looks like Microsoft has fused Windows 7 start menu and Windows 8 Start screen together. It looks great, more beautiful and more functional.
This is great, all windows apps from the store now runs in windowed mode, they don’t open in full-screen anymore. This is great for desktop users.
Now you can snap four Windows side by side in the corners. Just drag a Windows and hot in the corner, it will resize itself and fit in one fourth of the screen. This is more useful while multitasking.
Once you snap any Window in one of the corner, the snap assist shows other open windows for you to choose to snap next.
This feature is very new to Windows and very very helpful for people who are multitasking. Click the Task-View icon next to search icon in the task bar, and click “Add to desktop” to add another virtual desktop. Say for example in the first desktop you work with programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash, you can add a Virtual desktop and work on other programs like Word, PowerPoint and Notepad. Switch between these two virtual desktop to streamline your workflow, a line under the program icon in the taskbar will indicate that the program is open in the other virtual desktop.
Now you can share files faster, Windows 10 has a Share option right inside the file explorer. Select files you wish you share, click the Share menu & Click Share.
Now it is possible to use the keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste inside the command prompt window. Text within the command prompt window can be selected with mouse. You can also add transparency to the command prompt window. Right click on top of command prompt window, select properties and you can change these settings under the Experimental tab.
Although we haven’t run any Performance benchmark tests on Windows technical Preview, it seems to be faster and more responsive than the previous operating system. You can also notice some drop shadows around the Windows. The search function also seems to be faster.
The thin Window borders adds some aesthetic to the already beautiful operating system, it is clearly noticeable when you play some movie and there is very thin or almost no borders in sides of the Window.
